I am just trying to make the reasons as generic as possible so that:

1. We may minimize the number of reasons.

2. People may re-use the same reason for all CSUM related issue.

Same as above. I am minimizing the number of reasons so that any memory copy for
sk_buff may re-use this reason.

Please let me know if you think it is very significant to specialize the usage
of reason. I will then add "sk_buff csum computation failed" and "userspace".

I will add 'metadata'.

Thank you very much!
